1. A starter kit for Blueland's multisurface cleaner (a Shark Tank fave!) made with plant-derived and naturally disinfecting cleaning ingredients that are effective and smell amazing. 🍋 This particular cleaner is cost efficient, too (yay!) and an entire bottle can be refilled with a single tablet. That means you've already got three refills ready to go!
To use, simply fill with the bottle with water, drop in a tablet, and voila! While three tablets are included in this starter set, you can grab some extra refill tablets, too.
Blueland is a Asian woman-owned small business with a mission to make eco-friendly living easy, accessible, and affordable.
Promising review: "Best decision ever! I love the light smell after wiping down the kitchen each morning. They work great! Looks good, smells good, and feels good too. This system saves so much space and is way more convenient to use than the messy traditional bottles...It feels great to know the detergent formula is not harmful to the ecosystems we love. Thank you!!!" —Elizabeth H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 or straight from Blueland for $18 (tablets refills available for $7.50+ with subscription options available).
2. A rubber broom that'll easily sweep up the pet AND human hair that's been embedded in your carpet since last spring. This tool will grab hair you didn't even realize was there and while it can work on any type of floor, it's specifically designed to pull up hair in the most difficult place — the carpet.
BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord (pictured above) swears by this thing!:
"An embarrassing confession: my hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it. In fact, to make matters worse, weird particles get stuck in the hair on the floor, which is stuck to the carpet, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will."
Promising review: "I bought this broom two years ago and it is still going strong! I have four large dogs and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle you can use the head to do in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs. Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool." —Roseann
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
3. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to deep clean the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while, and what better time than spring cleaning season!
These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.
Promising review: "I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty looking...but I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." —Christine Doan

4. A tub of the bestselling Pink Stuff that'll make those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house seem like a walk in the park. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.
Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
5. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray to kill the toxic mold anywhere from your bathroom tile to your outdoor patio (and all the sneaky places in between). The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear!
Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner
Get a 32-oz bottle on Amazon for $16.99+ (available in multiple quantities).
6. Some Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser, a miracle-working rust remover that'll have your sinks, showers, toilets, and even pots and pans looking brand spankin' new. This will have your entire house and cookware ready for all of the spring barbecues you've got planned!
The cleanser is nonabrasive, bleach free, and effective on stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper alloys, fiberglass, Corian, brass, bronze, chrome, and aluminum surfaces.

Rinse thoroughly within one minute of application and wipe it dry!
Promising review: "My stainless-steel dishwasher constantly has streaks... I tried vinegar and vegetable oil and any/all home remedies. Just bought the Bar Keepers Friend and totally amazed: it looks like new again. No streaks." —Lacinda Campbell
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.25.
7. A bottle of Folex spot remover to make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.)
Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years, and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multiple pack sizes).
8. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamps that'll keep your toilet looking and smelling fresh for up to 12 days — which in turn, will help your entire bathroom smell fresh as well. Simply stamp a gel cleaning disc under the rim, flush, and you're done!
9. OR for a more eco-friendly approach, a jar of 10 toilet bowl bombs. These babies are made with a blend of ingredients that specifically removes mold and brightens surfaces. It can be used to clean bathtubs and sinks too!
I've been using the blood orange scented bowl bombs for a couple of months now, and OMG they smell amazing! Like, right when I opened the package. After during a thorough cleaning of my bathroom I always pop of these babies in the toilet as a last step to clean and make the room smell a little better (I have a teeny tiny bathroom so this little guy does the trick). And in terms of cleaning the porcelain throne, they absolutely work. My towel bowl always shines brighter after using one. It's also helpful that the packaging is plain ole adorable and I don't have to hide or store it anywhere!
Viren Apothecary is a woman-owned business based in Wisconsin that sells eco-friendly cleaning essentials.
Get it from Viren Apothecary on Etsy for $9+ (available in eucalyptus or unscented).
10. A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner, the best-selling carpet and upholstery cleaning machine that's *super* convenient and very easy to use! It works for dirt, pet stains, baby stains, and because it's portable, you can use it to clean your car, too. The spring cleaning doesn't stop with your house!
Promising reviews: "This has saved me so many times. I use it mostly for my carpet and the couch. With having a cat and dog with an almost white couch, this has been SUPER helpful. It has yet to fail me." —Amazon Customer
"This little guy has been working pretty well for me so far. Raising my puppy from eight weeks, I've had my share of things to try and get out of the carpet, from pee stains to puke to things he would knock over, to the mud he would track in. This would get most of it out if I used it right away. ... That being said, I am happy with the way it takes out most stains and has not failed me yet." —Cece
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $11.98!
11. A stainless steel polishing spray that comes with a microfiber cloth. It'll make your stainless-steel appliances look as good as new... meaning your grill will be in *proper* order just in time for the warm weather.
Promising review: "In my experience, cleaning products usually need to be pretty strong chemicals that require care when applying. When faced with options, I usually buy the chemical with the most skull and cross bones, warning labels, and danger symbols I can find. I figure the more volatile and poisonous the chemical, the better it will work! So I was skeptical about this product when it was billed as a plant based chemical on the other end of the toxicity spectrum. I decided to try it because of the many positive reviews. I'm glad I did. It works great! I wouldn't use it as a mouthwash, but it certainly isn't as harsh as other cleaners I've used." —Joe
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
12. A pack of Stomp 'N Go stain-removing pads reviewers say really do live up to their name. These pads remove gross pet-related stains, and according to reviews, it works on coffee stains, blood, dirt, and more.
Promising review: "Every pet owner should own these. They are so easy to use, and pull up every kitty stain without fail. It even picks up other dirt that we didn't know was there! No stain has failed to be picked up by these, even the ones that have sat for a few days before we noticed them, and some old stains that were there when we bought our house which didn't even come out with professional carpet cleaning. You need these!" —MKELady
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $30.24.
13. A Dyson stick vacuum that can do it all. It can detach from the body to help you hit all those nooks and crannies, and... It's cordless!
Promising reviews: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VACUUM — I have three large dogs and it is so accessible in a pinch. It's AMAZING on all my hardwoods floors just like my carpets. 😎 Easy to empty out too. I just can't say enough great things about this product." —Keith's Loyal Lady D
"First off, rarely do I publish a review even though I prime everything I possibly can. This vacuum is the holy grail of all cordless vacuums. Honestly, one should not love a piece of cleaning equipment as much as I love this. But alas, I do! ... It's super lightweight. Go ahead and do it one handed because this baby doesn’t need all your body weight to move from room to room. All that time you spend dragging out the bulky old-fashioned vacuum is over. No more plugging and unplugging. So you save time there. It’s easy to dump and you won’t have to untangle hair from the roller....So many positives so little time. Just buy it...Trust me on this one!" —Kalee Hill
Get it from Amazon for $424.99.
P.S. If you're looking for a more affordable wireless vacuum, check out this best seller for $139.49.
14. An air purifier because spring season is allergy season. This cleanses the air in your home and traps all the pet dander, dust floating around. Reviewers say it also does a great job getting rid of funky smells, too.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing. We do cat rescue...so I'll just leave it at that. It immediately changed the smell in our home. No more smell, unless it's immediately after someone uses a box. Air just smells cleaner, more fresh. We started with one and bought two more!" —M. Otto
"I originally bought this product because of my family's pet allergies. The purifier is compact and extremely quiet (compared to my previous experiences with other purifiers). So far so good! No one in my home has any pet allergic reactions and it really helps the smell. This device really helps regulate the air and I basically use this 24/7. The night-light comes in handy and my pup sleeps next to the purifier 75% of the time. I really recommend this product to anyone with allergies, pets, or stuffy houses." —Lien Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black and white).
15. A pack of scratch-free, odor-resistant Scrub Daddy sponges — another Shark Tank-featured product that truly cleans dishes like no other. 🙏 They're made with proprietary foam, which is firm when used with cold water and soft when used with warm water. That means you are in total control with the type of clean you want and the amount of effort you want to put in.
Promising review: "This product is an absolute must-have! We have four in our house, one for the dishes (which I cannot believe how well it works on dried/crusty food caked on cooking items), one for my husband's beer brewing supplies, and each for the bathrooms to clean the tubs because it is the easiest way to clean them! And it doesn't scratch anything as it gets soft when it's wet, while retaining its strong cleaning capabilities. The Scrub Daddy works like magic and I would recommend it to anyone...Everyone should have at least one in their home for dirty dishes! You'll never need to let something soak overnight again, just use the Scrub Daddy!" —KDro
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.98.
16. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area — this cleaner will give you professional-level results.
This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stain on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreat to shampooing and most often the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say gone…I mean GONE! And that’s with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I’d buy it again is such an understatement. I can’t be without it!!" —Angela Raab
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
17. A professional-strength grout cleaner so you can remove years and years worth of gross grime from your floors, countertops, and even shower tile. Did you forget that white grout existed in your home? This spring will be the time to rediscover it's beauty.
Promising review: "I did a lot of research on grout cleaners. I recently purchased a home, and the grout is SO dirty. You wouldn’t even know it was white. I was between this product and another with similar ratings. I decided to go with this product and do not regret it at all. You definitely need gloves, a well-ventilated area, and a stiff scrub brush. It doesn’t require a lot of scrubbing if you have a good brush. Leaving it on the longer end of 5–10 minutes is better. I’m SO impressed." —Lynn Santos
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
18. A vacuum hose attachment made specifically to clean your dryer vent. Even if you clean it yourself fairly often, you'd be surprised with how much this suction will pick up. And FYI, keeping the vent clear decreases the risk of dryer fires!
Promising review: "These are great especially for front load machines...Our front loader started smelling. Even after draining the water line at the bottom of the washer and wiping the seals and tub with bleach, the washer still smelled musty. I tried one of the Afresh tabs the last time I cleaned the washer. I did the same water line drain, cleaning the water filter, wiping the seal and all behind the seal as much as I could get with bleach, then I put the afresh tab in and put the washer on self clean. After the self-clean was finished, I took a dry cleaning towel and wiped out the residue in the wash tub. The smell was gone! I now use these once a month and we have not have any issues with odor." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).
19. And while you're there, a washing machine cleaning tablet to remove buildup and odor-causing grime from the constant use.
These are safe to use with front-load washing machines and top-load washing machines, and both high efficiency and conventional machines. Recommended to use once a month!
Promising review: "We have a top-loading washer that was super smelly. I questioned this product's efficiency, so I only bought the six pack. It is amazing and does what it says! Once the clean cycle is over, you'll want to wipe out the rusty, dirty residue that is left on the inside of the washer...No more smell!" —Valerie H
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.95.
20. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges that are tough on grime and gentle on surfaces. Reviewers call them "magic" for a reason! They truly are a spring clean must.
All you gotta do is wet and swipe!
Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty and these cut right through it. They work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $13.95.
21. A pet hair remover to make sure your pet's shedding does minimal damage to your sinuses (allergy season, remember?) and your furniture. It's like a lint roller without the annoying sticky pads that you have to constantly replace. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's as good as new.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-lb. tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing – he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
22. A stain and odor-eliminating spray for those carpet incidents that happen every now and then. This spray lifts stains away and removes that odor that comes along with it.
Carpet messes are undoubtedly the worst to clean up, but you can also use this on clothes and other surfaces like concrete and hardwood. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully for noncarpet use.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.
Promising review: "I honestly have no idea how we managed without this product before. We’ve tried most everything, from carpet cleaners to products that just cover scent. Nothing truly worked or lasted to get the cat urine odor out of our carpets. We were at our wit’s end when it began to happen in our own room — one corner of the room has become nearly unbearable. We didn’t even want to enter our own room. I purchased this product as a Hail Mary, hoping the positive reviews were true. THEY ALL UNDERSTATED THIS PRODUCT!! My fiancé followed the instructions down to the T and the smell is COMPLETELY GONE. Not even the slightest hint of urine anymore. I admit, I’m more of a citrus/floral girl for smells so this more minty scent isn’t my style, but the fragrance doesn’t linger too long. But what remains is a completely neutralized smell. In addition, the carpet seems generally cleaner. I am so grateful to this product." —Amazon Customer
Get a 32-ounce bottle from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in a gallon size).
23. A microfiber window blind cleaner so there'll be no more dust flying your way every time you open and close the blinds. With three blades that clean two blinds at once, it makes things SO much easier and faster.
This set includes five microfiber duster sleeves you can wash and reuse as well as a tiered plastic base.
Promising review: "OK I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper
Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two handle colors).
24. A shower door cleaner to rid those hard water stains and get your glass doors back to their original clean and clear state. Remember when you could see out the shower door? Yeah, get ready for that again.
Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP
Get it from Amazon for $10.45.
25. A toilet bowl ring remover because *no one* wants to see that every time they use the bathroom. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done.
Promising review: "I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first-floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. Tried it this morning, and oh...my...goodness. It easily took out the ring and, with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $11.15+ (also available in a pack of two and of six).
26. A FlexiSnake to unclog your sink, shower, and bathtub drains that are FILLED with hair. If you can't remember the last time you did that, I'd say it's definitely time for a clean.
This 18-inch FlexiSnake has more than 4,000 hook and loop micro-hooks made to catch hair in every direction. It's reusable, too! After you remove the hair, clean the snake with soap, water, and a brush.
Promising review: "I don’t write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, but it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn’t really read the instructions, but it’s pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, pulled it out. Voilà, no more hair! Buy it! You won’t be disappointed." —Linsey Walker
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $18.99.
27. A cooktop-cleaning kit so your electric stove top looks like new again. It comes with everything you need including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool.
Promising review: "Works amazing! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi cleaners which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." —B. Swartwood
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $15.99.
28. A pressure washer to restore your deck and fence before you host your next warm weather shindig. It can generate up to 2,030 psi — that's powerful enough to wash away years of gunk on decks, the exterior of houses, driveways, and more.
Promising review: "My neighbors would rate this 0 stars because I'm running this bad boy at all hours. Car wash at 4 a.m.? You bet. Hose out the garage and all down the driveway? Consider it done. There's no longer any paint on my house; the layers of dirt from when dinosaurs walked the Earth have been removed from every crack of concrete, and the stubborn moss that engulfed my front steps has been screaming, 'No more, Daddy!' for days now. I'm a ruthless power washing machine now. It has become a part of me. I dream about it every night. Now I'm just figuring a way to power-clean my putrid, filthy soul." —b00mfox
Get it from Amazon for $169.
29. An oven scrub cleaner that's 100% natural and 100% tough on the stains that have been there for a little too long. No shame, but it's *definitely* time for a deep clean!
This oven scrub is made out of 100% plant- and mineral-derived ingredients. To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface, including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths.
Promising review: "This is the first time in my 50-plus years that I have actually enjoyed cleaning my oven. And no, I am not joking! This product is effective, is easy to work with, and smells amazing, AND I only used a tiny amount of product!!! I don't think I could imagine a way to improve this product. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Well worth any wait." —Diane Coury
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
30. A Bissell SpinWave Robot with an interchangeable mop AND vacuum. This baby is powerful enough to vacuum the pet hair on the living room carpet and then mop up the spilled soda in the kitchen.
Promising review: "What can I say!!?!? It was delivered today, and I couldn’t help but give it a spin after charging it up and connecting to the app. I have a 'robot mop' from another brand but all it does is release water slowly and drag a microfiber pad over the floor. The spinning pads in the back are what sold me on the SpinWave. It vacuums the floor as it mops. It’s extremely quiet so I can run it while my kids are sleeping. When it’s in the wet-mop mode, it avoids my area rugs and random toys left on the floor. I’ve searched for something like this for a while and couldn’t be happier with my purchase." —Wertz81
